Hair Treatment Agent

Abstract

The subject matter of the present invention is a hair treatment agent that can be used for example as a hair cleaning agent or as a hair rinse, and is preferably present in the form of an optically clear product. The hair treatment agent according to the present invention contains hydrophilic silicones and hydrophobic silicones.

 a) 0.01 to 10 wt % of a hydrophobic silicone compound, and   b) 0.01 to 15 wt % of at least one hydrophilic silicone compound, and   c) water, as well as at least one compound selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, polymers having cationic or cationizable groups, cationically derived proteins, cationically derived protein hydrolysates, and betaines.   
   
   
       2 . Composition according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the hydrophilic silicone compound is selected from the group consisting of silicone compounds having cationic groups, hydroxy-substituted siloxanes, siloxane/polyoxyalkylene copolymers, and amino-substituted siloxanes. 
   
   
       3 . Composition according to  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that it contains as a hydrophobic silicone compound a compound from the group of the organosilicates, having the general formula ((R) 2 SiO{(R) 2 SiO } y Si(R) 3 , where R stands for a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having 1 to 6 C atoms or for a mono- or polycyclic cycloalkyl- or heterocycloalkyl group having 4 to 8 C atoms, or for an aromatic or araliphatic group having 6 to 10 C atoms, and y stands for a number from 0 to 5. 
   
   
       4 . Composition according to one of  claims 1  to  3 , characterized in that the hydrophilic silicone compound has a functional group that is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups, primary, secondary, or tertiary amino groups, quaternary ammonium groups, alkylene oxide groups, betainic groups and thiosulfate groups. 
   
   
       5 . Composition according to one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterized in that it is present in an optically clear or at least translucent form. 
   
   
       6 . Composition according to one of  claims 1  to  5 , characterized in that the refractive index of the hydrophilic silicone compound is greater than the refractive index of the hydrophobic silicone compound. 
   
   
       7 . Composition according to one of  claims 1  to  6 , characterized in that the viscosity of the hydrophobic silicone compound is 10 to 50,000 mPas. 
   
   
       8 . Composition according to one of  claims 1  to  7 , characterized in that it is present in a transparent or translucent packaging.
